Gjennomføringspunkter

Gjennomføringspunkter are specific items or tasks identified during planning or discussion that must be executed to advance a project, agreement, or operation. The term originates from Scandinavian corporate and legal contexts where it is used to indicate concrete actions that follow a decision or a meeting. Each gjennomføringspunkt usually contains a brief description, responsible party, and an expected completion date or deadline, allowing stakeholders to track progress and hold individuals accountable.

In practice, gjennomføringspunkter appear in several settings. At the end of a project kickoff meeting, a facilitator will list the next steps so all participants know their roles. In compliance and regulatory filings, the term is often used to declare which obligations have been met and which remain pending. Within contract negotiations, parties may commit to specific deliverables, each recorded as a gjennomføringspunkt to avoid ambiguity.

The format is intentionally straightforward: a bullet‑point list that may be expanded into a task registry. Many organizations integrate gjennomføringspunkter into project management software, linking each entry to a work item or user story. This integration supports visibility, facilitates status reporting, and serves as evidence in audits or periodic reviews.

Examples include:

- An IT department’s roll‑out of a new software platform where the gjennomføringspunkter cover installation, data migration, testing, and end‑user training.

- A municipality’s plan to update zoning regulations, with points such as public consultation, drafting amendments, approval by the city council, and publication in the gazette.

Related concepts are “milestone” and “action item,” which are similar but may carry different emphases; a gjennomføringspunkt is distinctly tied to earlier decisions or formal agreements rather than just project milestones.
